Answer:

Radioactive isotopes ranging from 11O to 26O have also been characterized, all short-lived. The longest-lived radioisotope is 15O with a half-life of 122.24 seconds, while the shortest-lived isotope is 12O with a half-life of 580(30)×10−24 seconds (the half-life of the unbound 11O is still unknown).

Some fuel cells are powered by hydrogen. Scientists are looking into the decomposition of water (H2O) to make hydrogen fuel with

skad [1K]

A. Decomposing water requires a high activation energy.

Explanation:

In decomposing water to release hydrogen gas to make fuel cells, the process requires a very high activation energy.

2H₂O ⇆ 2H₂ + O₂

This is the overall reaction. O-H must be broken to release free hydrogen to produce hydrogen gas.

The O-H bond is a very strong force of attraction that requires a high activation energy to overcome.

The activation energy is the energy barrier that must be overcome before a reaction takes place.
The sun is a renewable source of energy.
Water decomposition produces useful oxygen gas needed by all life for cellular respiration.

Answer: 27.09 ppm and 0.003 %.

First, for air pollutants, ppm refers to parts of steam or gas per million parts of contaminated air, which can be expressed as cm³ / m³. Therefore, we must find the volume of CO that represents 35 mg of this gas at a temperature of -30 ° C and a pressure of 0.92 atm.

Note: we consider 35 mg since this is the acceptable hourly average concentration of CO per cubic meter m³ of contaminated air established in the "National Ambient Air Quality Objectives". The volume of these 35 mg of gas will change according to the atmospheric conditions in which they are.

So, according to the law of ideal gases,

PV = nRT

where P, V, n and T are the pressure, volume, moles and temperature of the gas in question while R is the constant gas (0.082057 atm L / mol K)

The moles of CO will be,

n = 35 mg x $\frac{1 g}{1000 mg}$ x $\frac{1 mol}{28.01 g}$

→ n = 0.00125 mol

We clear V from the equation and substitute P = 0.92 atm and

T = -30 ° C + 273.15 K = 243.15 K

V = $\frac{0.00125 mol x 0.082057 \frac{atm L}{mol K} x 243 K}{0.92 atm}$

→ V = 0.0271 L

As 1000 cm³ = 1 L then,

V = 0.0271 L x $\frac{1000 cm^{3} }{1 L}$ = 27.09 cm³

Then the acceptable concentration c of CO in ppm is,

c = 27 cm³ / m³ = 27 ppm

To express this concentration in percent by volume we must consider that 1 000 000 cm³ = 1 m³ to convert 27.09 cm³ in m³ and multiply the result by 100%:

c = 27.09 $\frac{cm^{3} }{m^{3} }$ x $\frac{1 m^{3} }{1 000 000 cm^{3} }$ x 100%

c = 0.003 %

So, the acceptable concentration of CO if the temperature is -30 °C and pressure is 0.92 atm in ppm and as a percent by volume is 27.09 ppm and 0.003 %.

The alkali earth metal beryllium (Be) engages in a chemical reaction and loses all of its valence electrons.

denpristay [2]

The loss of electron from an results in the formation of cation represented by the positive charge on the element whereas gaining of electron results in the formation of anion represented by the negative charge on the element.

The alkali earth metal beryllium ( $Be$ ) belongs to the second group of the periodic table. The ground state electronic configuration of $Be$ is: $1s^{2}2s^{2}$

From the electronic configuration it is clear that it has 2 valence electrons in its valence shell ( $2s^{2}$ ).

After losing all valence electrons that is 2 electrons from $2s$ orbital. The electronic configuration will be:

$1s^{2}2s^{0}$

Since, lose of electron is represented by positive charge on the element symbol. So, the beryllium will have +2 charge on its symbol as $Be^{2+}$ .

Hence, beryllium will have 2+ charge on it after losing all its valence electrons in the chemical reaction.
